This is dedicated to everyone who might not be looking forward to Valentine's Day. Cause love does sometimes stink!

You love her But she loves him And he loves somebody else You just can't win And so it goes Till the day you die This thing they call love It's gonna make you cry I've had the blues The reds and the pinks One thing for sure

Two by two and side by side Love's gonna find you yes it is You just can't hide You'll hear it call Your heart will fall Then love will fly It's gonna soar I don't care for any casanova thing All I can say is Love stinks

you haven't lived until you see the "flamethrower" scene in the parisian nightsuit episode of "freaks and geeks." fabulous! and that whole series is definitely a must for 80s lovers.

To bring it back to the REAL 80s (as opposed to the late-90s interpretation of said decade in "Freaks And Geeks"), here are the "Flamethrower" lyrics:----------All day long she holds it backBack with all her mightShe carries a burnin' torch insideShe holds it firm and tight

She punches out the clockWhile it keeps punchin' out her lifeShe's a flamethrower, red-hot glowerFlamethrower at night

The things she wears at workThey hang off her kinda looseHer blouse don't fit, the pants ain't rightShe ain't no front page news

But when her work is doneAnd the daytime turns to nightThe headlines flash in neonThat the girl has taken flight

Chairman of the boardWon't look her in the eyeThe fire of her visionHis money just can't buy

Silently she waitsSilently she contemplatesShe can make 'em trembleYou know the reason why

She's a flame - flamethrowerShe's a flamethrower at nightShe's a flame - a red-hot glowerShe's a flamethrower at night

You might think you're burnin'All your candles at both endsMaybe you should go to churchTo make up some amends

But if you think you're fireproofSo cool and much too muchDon't dare go near my baby'Cause she'll melt you with her touch

I forget the darknessI forget the painWhen she's movin' through my heartAnd when she's pumpin' through my veins

She's the part inside meI never can controlAnd she's the only reasonI know I've got a soul

She's a flame - flamethrowerShe's a flamethrower at nightShe's a flame - a red-hot glowerShe's a flamethrower at night------------

It just has that charge in the lyrics that says "Step aside. I'm in charge...This is my machine!".

The best part is that you tweak the lyrics a little and make it about a guy if you want.

I thought maybe the lyrics would jog my memory and I would have heard it, but I don't recognize it at all.

I have memories of Flamethrower being played at an extremely high volume thru boom box speakers on the last day of school freshman year 1982. Ah the memories!

i was big on centerfold back when freeze frame came out. that song got SICK quantities of air play. i think i only happened across flamethrower later on.

yeah, i guess Fs&Gs is kinda weirdly grungy. one of the fun things about it is picking out the anachronisms/inaccuracies (like in the atari episode they used the 2600 game boxes with the fancy cover art when it was a VCS when it first came out and had much plainer boxes; and there's no way you can play a whole game of D&D in one night)... still think it was a great show though.

OMG- my husband and I just about peed ourselves when he wore that "Parisian Nightsuit" to school! I think I'm going to buy the whole dvd set for my hubby's birhtday (always a good excuse to buy a dvd- I loved that show- Hey that's another good show that was cancelled!)ISIS, if you hear Flamethrower on the radio, I'm sure you will remember it- It got heavy airplay in the 80's.
